Sir;
I have received your letter in the case of Jerusha Fuller widow of Elkanah Fuller of N.P. under act of Feb. 3. 1853.
I beg leave to enquire if the rule of identity has recently been changed in cases of this sort under this act.?
I have had received the certificate of proof in cases of this description where the proof of identity was precisely similar to this viz: the certificate of the Judge who himself took the declaration of the widow at her residence, that he was satisfied that she was the widow of the person she represented herself to be.
In the case of Susanna Pearson widow of Silas Pearson. a certificate from the Officer, was required by the Department , and when it was obtained the claim was allowed after having been suspended for precisely that kind of proof. And in other cases such proof has been deemed sufficient.
And unless the rule of the office has recently been changed, it is submitted that the Certificate of the County Judge in this case is sufficient to identify

her as the widow of E. L. Kanah Fuller - the Pensioner - or if more is required, it is submitted that it will be found in another declaration made by the same person to es- -tablish a claim under act of 7 th July 1838 as the widow of Stephen Crane - as in the vouchers in the 3 rd Auditor's office - and that it is not necessary to incur the ex- -pense of labor to procure affidavits to sustain a point already sufficiently estab- -lished under the rules of the office unless these rules have undergone a change.
I am respectfully Your Ob dt . Servt.
